The physical basics are presented in the first half of the book. The following examination of application categories and their processes is documented by experts from their practical points of view but always refers back to the underlying physical principles. In this way, readers are free to choose their own individual level of depth in understanding this globally relevant field of innovation UR - http://148.231.10.114:2048/login?url=http://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-642-01237-2 ER -
